Chapter Nine – It's Not Supposed To Hurt This Way
Rogue's POV
I'm freaked out now. How come he's not in a coma!? Well, not that I want to…but, HOW IS HE ABLE TO TOUCH ME WITHOUT GETTING HURT!? This question ran through my head. Kitty was still gawking at me. I looked at Pietro, who was smiling down at me by his piercing blue eyes.
~Why…do you always do this to me?
Why…couldn't you just see through me?
How come…act like this like you just don't care at all
Do you expect me to believe I was the only one to fall~
"Ah…Ah don't understand…" I said with my mind still in confusion, "How can this be?"
"Somebody once told me I was immune to your powers. It was a long time ago. I couldn't remember who it was"
"But…but yo' knees wobbled when y' gave meh that kiss at the hot springs"
"I don't know how you know that, but it was because of the kiss I gave you" he confessed
~I can feel, I can feel you near me
Even though you're far away
I can feel, I can feel you baby
Why…~
I couldn't believe it. Why does it have to be Pietro that I was able to touch? Is there some kind of destiny for us? Are WE meant to be TOGETHER? Ideas and thoughts ran through my head. My head was spinning around and I didn't know what to do.
"Rogue?"
"Ah…Ah have ta go" I spun around and went out of the place and ran back to the cabin. Passer-bys looked at me while I was running. I suddenly tripped and my shoe came off. I hurriedly grabbed it and immediately took off, lifting my dress to prevent myself from stepping on it. I stopped for a moment and took off the other shoe from my foot. I continued running barefooted, feeling the soft cold snow while I was running.
~It's not supposed to be feel this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day~
"Rogue!" I heard Pietro yell. I ignored him and tears streamed down my face. I reached the cabin, went inside the bedroom and jumped on the bed, hugging the pillow against me and cried.
After a few minutes, I heard the door creak open. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up at the person with misty eyes. It was Pietro. I slightly frowned, sat in an upright position and wiped my tears with the back of my hand. I looked at him and he sat beside me.
"What are y' doing here? Shouldn't y' be back at the dance?" I said coldly
"And leave you here, crying? I don't think so" he shook his head
~It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you~
"Pietro…y' can just get up and leave meh. Ah don't care. Go back and mingle with Lance" I said, not looking at him
"Rogue, I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying inside this cabin, with you." he said like it was the last sentence he'll be ever saying
"Pietro. Please, just get outta here. Just…just go, okay? Ah'm not in the mood ta talk to y' right now. Ah'm sorry." I said coldly
Pietro stood up and left the room without another word. I have to admit. I'm really happy that I was able to touch him. Just then, I heard Kitty and Lance's voice coming from the living room.
Pietro's POV
"What did she say?" Lance asked me
"Nothing. She told me to get out"
"Whoa. We got like, some moody Rogue at the moment" Kitty said
"Don't worry, Pietro. She'll come around" Lance said, sitting down beside me
"I hope" I sighed
"You really like, love her, right?"
I nodded reluctantly, looking at Kitty
"Well, show her that you like, care and love her."
"I already did. It was a few days ago when I made her dinner."
"You can like, do better than that" Kitty said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world
"But what?" I said
"Whatever it is. I'm sure it's like, right inside your heart" Kitty pointed out and the both of them left Pietro and went back to their own cabin. Pietro still sat on the couch, wondering of something to do for Rogue.
I hope some of you understood everything on this chapter! I know it's short. Anyway, don't forget to review!!
